especially the "trademark formula" listed halfway through

maybe One Day I will do writeups about .town's general infra, the Wireguard reverse proxy setup, and the backup situation

Self hosting backups 

@jacket@tech.lgbt yep, it's an important aspect of (instance) hosting. I've tried a bunch of backup solutions but Borg has been the nicest by far, since you can do append-only (pwned server can't delete it's own backups), encrypted, deduplicated and compressed backups which saves a lot of space.

For hosts i've had a few different solutions; borgbase.com, a buyvm.net server with a storage slab (usually sold out, try buyvmstock.com/ to get notified), and a Hetzner storage box (currently using their borg integration, but considering just sshfs mounting it on a vps and borg'ing to that). My VPS'es back up to the remote backup servers, but also to a machine at home.

On my non-NixOS machines I use the borgmatic wrapper to store/run it's config

we both suck at texting but somehow we make the effort?

not sure if camp exhaustion is finally catching up to me or if i'm Down with the Sickness(tm) but i'm so fucking tired

oh yeah i still have to fill in the fuckin adhd intake introduction questionnaire

it's taken me weeks and the appointment is in 4 days, if anything that should get me the diagnosis right away

I've been listening to a bunch of Ex:Re / Daughter and it's just all soo good

shotgunning a little can of olives i just pulled out of my backpack

@Vierkantor makes sense, i haven't been on a train in three weeks :)

@erikk@chaos.social right, because it's a reminder these things are needed?

oh cool, this train has a sticker on the window with the harassment/unsafe situation helpline number, instead of just passing it on the info screens once in a blue moon

@esty yeah the hardcore techbro insistence that "everyone" can maintain their own server is... oblivious at best.
